Style Blogger Look 4 Less – Peachy :: Floral & Gold Details @ Wendy’s Lookbook

by Irina on April 24, 2012

And here we go with a second “Style Blogger Look 4 Less”-feature for a look I spotted on the adorable Wendy from Wendy’s Lookbook a few days ago. As usual I loved her look head-to-toe, especially the cute floral shorts and cap-toe pumps, and hence decided to recreate it but with a more budget-friendly approach. Also our look is less peachy and more monochrome than Wendy’s, but I still think we hit the right tone here.

Real vs. Steal – Alexander McQueen Skull Print Silk Chiffon Scarf

by Irina on March 14, 2012

Posting a steal find for an Alexander McQueen item always makes me a little sad because I feel very strongly about the brand and the designer and would like to be able to support it by buying the real deal, however my budget says otherwise. McQueen’s iconic skull print scarves have been around for a while now and it didn’t take long before they became a celebrity staple. And who can blame them really? The scarves, which are now available in a million color combinations, are absolutely fabulous; scary skulls printed on delicate silk? Gotta love the contradiction. What’s not to love though? The price of almost $300, obviously.

Real vs. Steal – Givenchy Ottoman Stitch Stripe Jacket

by Erica on February 25, 2012

UPDATE: This post has been updated on February 25, 2012. Scroll down to see the new adds.

I almost get the sensation that I’m looking at a Magic Eye poster when I look at this Givenchy Ottoman Stitch Stripe Jacket. It’s definitely different and very appealing to the eye. I love how Keri Hilson sports it with a pair of black skinnies and a peep-toe boot. Such elegance when it’s worn so simplified. I’m very curious to see how this jacket would look with a pair of jeans as opposed to the all-black ensemble. So, if you want to get the look and not be on the waiting list and spend $1557 on this striking jacket, here are a few more choices!

Smythe Piped One Button Blazer

UPDATE (02/25/2012): If you’re looking for a high quality alternative, look no further because this striped Smythe blazer is a great Givenchy look-a-like. It does retail for a very hefty $695, but it’s still less than 50% of the original’s price.

Alice + Olivia “Sage” Striped Blazer

I love this Alice + Olivia “Sage” Striped Blazer! I love the shoulders and the pockets! Very similar to the Givenchy and you won’t be out $1557 either. Priced at $368 this jacket is definitely a steal. But, if it still doesn’t fit your budget we have some more for ya!

Aryn K. Stripe Blazer

This Aryn K. blazer has slightly bigger stripes than the Givenchy and the Alice + Olivia, but I’m really enjoying the collar detail around the neckline on this one. And priced at $94, I’d say it’s pretty budget-friendly!

Tart “Camryn” Jacket

Now this Tart jacket looks the most like the Givenchy with the striping. However, it looks more of “going to the office” than a jacket that you can wear more casually. Nonetheless, if you like the look and you’re really loving the stripes of the Givenchy and want something a little more affordable, I’d go for this one!

525 America Striped Blazer

OK, so I’m not sure how I feel about this jacket by 525 America. I like the buttons, but I feel like it should’ve been a full-length sleeve rather than a 3/4 sleeve. Especially since you have the button style of a pea-coat! It does look cute with jeans and priced at $95.99, it might suit your taste for the warmer weather that’s soon ahead.

Celebrity Look 4 Less – Whitney Port’s Rocker Look

by Velicia Hill on November 10, 2010

OK, for the record, this look of Whitney Port does not cater to my personal style (I ONLY wear sneakers to the gym), but since every taste is different, I will write this from my younger sister’s point of view who’d kill for this look! So if you’re anything like her and love that I-just-threw-this-on feeling, then pay close attention. Grab yourself a cup of coffee and read along how to rock this nonchalant chic look without the rock/movie star paycheck!
